Where can international travelers exchange US dollars or get cash in Cam Ranh, Vietnam?

The simplest option is your hotel reception. In late July 2026 a traveler wrote that any hotel reception in Cam Ranh exchanges US dollars into Vietnamese dong at a fair rate, but only new banknotes are accepted. Avoid bringing worn or old notes, as they may be refused.

If you prefer not to exchange at the hotel, look for a counter nearby: in July 2026 travelers advised walking out of the hotel and heading right along the row of hotels, where there are Money Exchange signs. Compare the rate there with the reception rate before exchanging.

Another way to get cash, mentioned in July 2026, is to arrange it with your landlord, a small tạp hóa shop or a hotel: send them the amount by QR-code transfer (one participant mentioned a transfer from Bybit) and receive dong in cash. This is a private arrangement, not an official exchange, so discuss the rate, fees and the other party's reliability in advance.
